SUMMARY:'On Thin Ice': author event with Charlie Walker
DESCRIPTION:Parade’s End Books is excited to welcome Charlie Walker\, author of On Thin Ice: An Explorer’s Memoir of Siberia\, Surveillance and Survival. Charlie will talk about his book and his thrilling Siberian experiences\, and there will be a Q&A and a chance to get a signed copy. \nTickets are £5 – get yours here.  \nAbout the book: \nIn early 2022\, Charlie Walker set out to hike 600 miles along the frozen rivers of Siberia. He hoped to cut through the myth of the gulag and the permafrost to understand who its people are and how they reckon with their haunted past\, as well as what the future might hold for this remote corner of our world. But on 24 February\, Russia invaded Ukraine\, with devastating consequences. What had begun as an adventure swiftly descended into a paranoid nightmare\, as Walker began to suspect he was being monitored by the Russian authorities. Shortly afterwards he was arrested and imprisoned. \nOn Thin Ice juxtaposes the harsh beauty of a Siberian winter with a thriller-like series of events that exposes the dark heart of Putin’s propaganda machine. It is both the extraordinary record of one man’s walk through the most inhospitable place on earth and a powerful insight into a deeply troubled – and troubling – nation.

SUMMARY:Evening with Author Sean Gilbert
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an unmissable evening with Sean Gilbert\, to celebrate the release of his new novel I’ll Be the Monster. There will be a discussion of this darkly funny thriller\, followed by a Q&A where you can ask Sean all of your burning questions\, and the chance to get a signed copy of the book. You’ll also be able to purchase alcoholic and soft drinks on the night. \nTickets are £5 – get yours here.  \nAbout the book: \n‘The White Lotus meets My Sister\, the Serial Killer: I’ll Be The Monster is a menacingly funny\, daring debut that deserves a spot at the top of every 2026 TBR pile. With humour so biting and unease this sun soaked\, this brilliantly vile pager turner cements Sean Gilbert as a bold new voice in literary fiction‘ Lucy Rose\, author of The Lamb \nA homicidal couple embarks on a luxury holiday to save their marriage. \nAfter years of secrets and self-restraint\, they’ve reached breaking point. But three days into the trip\, they run into Benny\, an acquaintance from their Cambridge days. And Benny is desperate to reminisce about a time – and a person – they would rather forget. \nDarkly funny and razor-sharp\, I’ll Be The Monster follows a dangerous game of cat and mouse as it plays out under the stifling heat of the Mediterranean sun. From a major new talent in literary fiction\, this gripping debut is a love story about the worst people you know – and of what happens when a change of heart occurs too late.
